Jaakko > Is there a forum dedicated to Freevo (devel/users)? Mailing lists are > getting a little bit old fashioned don't you think :) Mailing list are pretty much the for good FOSS projects. Especially for projects like freevo which are not targeted at the Linux newbie. Respones are generally faster and more reliable than on forums also. Forums are also getting to be "old-fashion" they have been around almost as long as mailing lists. IM's are where its at now :P
Forums also serve as a good "incubator" for Wiki content as can be seen at > ubuntuforums. Many people like to post small howto's and tutorials > which can end up in the wiki when matured enough. Ubuntu has has surprisingly good luck in this area. Ubuntu has people paid to maintain the site to cherry pick the best stuff for how-tos. This makes using a forum as an adjunct to a wiki doable. In non-commercailly backed products like Freevo that is really not as vaiable a option. > I think that freevo would attract a lot more users if there would be a > dedicated community forum. Forums have historically made very little difference on number of users. The real thing that increases users is people asking questions and then actually getting answers, whether by forum,IRC or mailing lists.
